Then and now - dating practices
by larc ini was in high school from 1954 to 1958. we did not have junior high at that time.
we had grades, 1 though 8, and high school 9 though 12. .

How many Witnesses will there be in 20 years?
by dothemath inwe've often had the scripture "the little one will become a thousand, small one a mighty nation" applied to the modern-day organization...........often represented as an amazing fulfillment of bible prophecy.. actually anything with a growth rate will increase exponentially in time.
(it's easy to figure out with natural logarithms).
looking back at some previous years, there was some exceptional growth, resulting in large increases every ten years or less.

Do you ever DEFEND Witnesses?
by GetBusyLiving ini know i come on here a lot and laugh at the crazy stuff i used to believe.. it's a terrific place to vent my frustration at the org.
and share experiences with people who understand.
but i find that when some people trash talk witnesses who were never part of it i end up sort of defending them usually.

What I remember from 1975
by Big Dog insince i am sort of late to the party this has probably been beaten to death and if it has just kick this thread to the curb.
i was 11 years old in 1975 and i remember being scared silly the whole year.
i mean there was so much hype about it and the tension in the air was so thick it was unreal.
